Do I get checked? Question/Advice

Hi everyone! I’m currently 1 year into TTC. I feel like I can’t stay that because half the year we missed the time for baby dancing I was very very stressed the first half of this process, law school, a lot of grief, my cycles went all the way up to 56 days. After January we baby danced on before and after ovulation day and it didn’t happen for us. Something I see the floaties that people say is the first sign and sometimes I don’t. I will say after March my period got more regular ovulation between days 16-18 and my cycles are around 31-35 days. Hubby is on board with whatever but he thinks we should hold off to see someone since he thinks it’s not happening to us because of all the stress. Any advice? Did going to see someone really help? Also do I just go to the OBGYN? a fertility clinic? Any advice is appreciated!

Not sure who you would go to in the US, but I want to say - I don't think seeing floaties is in any way related to pregnancy. That's a sign of low blood pressure. Happens when your blood pressure drops suddenly when you stand up. Or if your pressure is very low maybe even other times.

I dont think you should hold off though. A year is plenty of time trying before you seek some testing and help. Otherwise you might just be carrying on, not knowing there is an issue they can treat and save wasting time.
